Antifreeze color and smell?????

[TurboTy]

Hey guys, i know its been awhile since posting, sorry about the direct question but i'm a little worried, i checked my antifreeze and i had put all new green in the spring when i changed my waterpump....Now i checked it and it's turned a yellowish color and smell's veryyyyy weird, there is no oil in it, i put some in a clear bottle, no seperation.....my diesel guy that does all my heavy work told me the antifreeze could possibly have been contaminated.....at our body shop we have a 55 gallon drum of green antifreeze, been laying around for quite some time cause most cars dont have green anymore!! lol....Doesnt have any head gasket symptoms...doesnt overheat.....runs like normal...any other suggestions besides draining and refilling with new green from the store??...thanks guys!!!!

I'd drain it and fill it.
If you can get the block drains out (pipe plugs near the bell housing on both sides) it will make the job messier, but much more complete...

yeah, i'm gonna be doing that asap, i checked the stuff thats still in the same drum and it has the same smell and consistency, very odd, lol...i'm gonna get all fresh stuff and drain her down, thanks!

Make sure to check and add the sca's as needed.

I ****ed up.
Those plugs don't go into the water jacket.

pull the block heater instead.
